Chalfonts and District Table Tennis League monthly roundup for Season 2017 - 18

The new season is now in full swing with 18 teams competing across 3 divisions. It is a shame that some of the usual teams are missing this season but the league has been delighted to welcome new teams from Brunel University. Each season the Denham club introduces some of it's junior players into the senior league, pictured is new recruit Nicholas Carter, he along with his chum Dexter Dalston have joined the J team and take turns each week in playing for the team, at just 10 years old these lads prove it's a sport that can be played by all ages. League matches are played with 3 players on each team, they all play each other plus there's one game of double's making a total of 10 points to play for.

Denham's J team played the F team in the first match of the season with the more experienced F team winning 7-3. F team Captain, Shaun Bausor (age 66) pictured with Nicholas, commented "It's great to see the youngsters coming through and competing in the league. There were some very close games tonight and I think young Nicholas will soon be getting the better of us older and more experienced players. He has all the shots and with more exposure in the league against different playing styles, his match strategy will come on in leaps and bounds. I would not be surprised if Nicholas beats me later in the season in one of the return matches". Currently in Division three Denham VIllage G team is on top with 39 points (played 5 ) then Brunel B on 30 (played 5) then comes the juniors of denham J team with 28 (played 6) under these is Denham Village F , Ickenham and VIllage K but they have only played 3 matches to date. Sitting on top of the averages in the third division is young Nathan Mcdonagh with 100% having played just two matches ( so 6 out of 6) he'll have to watch for David Clingbine from Denham G who is looking good having played 15 and won 13 .

Division two sees Denham VIllage D team lead with 27points, then both with 18 points are Hillingdon and Stoke Poges, not far behind them is Chalfont D on 13 points then comes Chalfont C team and St Joseph's both on 7 points having faced the tough opposition at the start of the season. St. Joseph's won division 3 last season so were duly promoted therefore they're just taking a while to adjust to the faster and spinier games in division two but are are settling down and will soon be getting more points on the board,

Dave Hales of Chalfont C is currently top of the division two averages with 100%

Currently leading the first division is the Denham Village B team with 27points, the club's A and C teams are next with 24 and 20 points respectively , Newcomers 'Brunel A' are in 4th place while spots 5 and 6 are held by Chalfont's A and B teams who made a slow start but are now really starting to click. top of div one averages sees Janu Aurelian from denham village A on 100%.
